He continued: “I agree, it was a beautiful story even with its ups and downs like all couples. I loved every moment, from the first time I knew her in the Villa until the life outside.
“I really believed in us and saw a future for us. But sometimes in life people need to grow apart. Is just the direction of life. I will treasure our moments forever.
“Now it’s time to focus on myself. I love you all always, thank you for the unconditional support everyone showed me from the beginning [white heart emoji],” he concluded.

On Tuesday morning (January 30), the brunette beauty announced that the couple had called time on their romance. It was previously reported by The Sun that an OnlyFans model had rocked their relationship, leaving them on the verge of a second break-up.
Taking to Instagram, the Turkish actress told her fans she had made the decision to end their relationship with a lengthy statement online. It read: “The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship.
“Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other. Unfortunately, I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways…

“Thank you for your continued support. It’s been so lovely to have you follow our Love Island journeys together since the villa and we hope you’ll continue to follow our careers as we go off in our own directions. Love always, Ekin-Su.”
It comes after The Sun revealed how Ekin-Su and Davide had reportedly endured a series of rows over an OnlyFans model who the hunk had been growing close to. Fans had spotted Davide and the OnlyFans star liking each other’s posts online while the actress was spotted liking tweets that called Davide’s loyalty to her into question.
The final straw came when model Sylvija Vasilevska liked posts of Davide on a skiing holiday with Ekin-Su – who was missing from the holiday snaps. On Monday (January 29), a source told the publication: “They’re on the brink of a split and Ekin-Su has been going to events without Davide.
